Experimental Seaside Ensembles

The Vogue Japan 'The Mermaid's Holiday' Editorial is Mythical

By the looks of the Vogue Japan 'The Mermaid's Holiday' editorial, the sea witch has granted model Saskia de Brauw her legs, long enough to enjoy a little above-water getaway. French Patrick Demarchelier captured the stunning seaside shoot. Through his trained eye, the editorial is filled with epic, picturesque images that relate to its mythical undertone.

Playing on the idea of fantasy in the Vogue Japan The Mermaid's Holiday editorial, stylist Lori Goldstein experiments with the elegant ensembles. Although she relies heavily on some obvious choices that revolve around sequins and spring pastels, she adds bold coral reef-inspired accessories to shake things up. In place of flowing red hair and natural makeup is a blunt blond bob and icy blue lipstick, which makes things even more interesting.
